Tax Exemption Forms
Sales tax is charged on all orders shipping to a state where we have sales tax nexus. This includes all states with the exception of AK, DE, MT, NH, NM and OR. Sales tax will be charged on all purchases within those states unless we have your resale or tax-exempt certificate on file. If you are tax exempt, please include your resale or tax-exempt certificate with your initial order.
We require that a new form be submitted on an annual basis to maintain your exempt status in our system or we will be required to collect sales tax on your purchases.Although sales tax may not currently be collected in your state, sales tax law is continually changing and having a current exemption form on file will streamline the process if/when we do have Nexus in your state and begin collecting sales tax.

Questions About Tax Exempt Forms
Q: My state is currently listed as a state where you are not collecting sales tax. Do I still need to submit my form?
A: We’re asking all customers who qualify for an exemption to submit an exemption form as state regulations are changing rapidly. This is a serious concern for us and we want to ensure that we are only collecting sales tax where required.
Q: I do not see a form listed for my state on your website. Does this mean I do not need to submit a form?
A: We are putting up forms for the states that we are required to collect sales tax in as we register in each state but we have linked to your state's website where the form can be found. We’re asking all customers for an exemption form as state regulations seem to be changing constantly. This is a serious concern for us and we want to ensure that we are only collecting sales tax where required.
